Description
(組成式(1)中、Aは11族元素、Bは12族元素、Cは13族元素、Dは16族元素をそれぞれ示す。x、y、z及びwは組成比を示す数であり、且つxとzはx/z>1の関係を満たす。)
本発明に係る半導体膜においては、前記組成式(1)中のxとzが、1<x/z≦2の関係を満たすことが好ましい。
この組成式(1)中、Aは11族元素、Bは12族元素、Cは13族元素、Dは16族元素をそれぞれ示す。x、y、z及びwは組成比を示す数である。
ソーダライムガラス上にCuxZnyInzSw膜を、スプレー塗布熱分解法で形成した。その詳細は次の通りである。
まずCuCl2、InCl3、ZnCl2、及びチオ尿素を含有する複数種の水溶液を調製した。これらの水溶液中のCuCl2、InCl3、及びZnCl2の合計のモル濃度を4mmol/Lとし、チオ尿素の濃度を10mmol/Lとした。水溶液中のCu/Inモル比は0.9〜3までの範囲で変化させ、Zn/(Cu+In+Zn)のモル比は0.1〜0.6の範囲で変化させた。
図3に示す結果によれば、CuxZnyInzSw膜中のZn/(Cu+In+Zn)のモル比が調整されることで、半導体膜のバンドギャップが容易に調整される。特にZn/(Cu+In+Zn)のモル比が0.6以下であるとCuxZnyInzSw膜のバンドギャップは2.5eV以下となり、太陽電池の光吸収層にとって特に適した値となる。従って、太陽電池への適用のためには、CuxZnyInzSw膜中のZn/(Cu+In+Zn)のモル比は0より大きく0.6以下の範囲が特に好ましいと判断される。
ソーダライムガラス製の基板11を用意した。この基板11上に超音波ミスト法によりITOを堆積させることで、厚み0.5μmの透明電極12を形成した。
ソーダライム製の基板21を用意した。この基板21上にスパッタ法によりMoを堆積させて、厚み約0.4μmの第一の電極22を形成した。このMoのスパッタにあたっては、ターゲットとしてMoを用い、スパッタ装置内の雰囲気をAr雰囲気とし、印加電力をDC1kWとした。
